There have been peaks and valleys where the legions of the negative have ebbed and flowed. If you’ve been so kind to have listened to me on various...

Explosive Salah and Sadio Back With A Bang

As they followed up a terrific game against Red Star by exploding into life against Cardiff, it once again became clear that Sadio Mané and in particular Mo Salah remain the key cogs in Liverpool’s attacking displays. The two players have seven goals each in all competitions this season, with Salah also notching three...

Enjoying a Different Type of Liverpool

Well, this is bizarre. Not since the days of Rafa Benitez has Liverpool’s fanbase, as a collective, been able to relax.

Observations as Liverpool regain their mojo in 4-0 win

A narrow and nervy win against Huddersfield last weekend was testament to that, while their last venture in the Champions League against Napoli delivered an awful performance. Failing to register a shot until late in...

Naby Keita is key to Liverpool’s evolution going forward

Livepool's midfield is holding us back. Our defence is looking as solid as it has done in years and we possess one of the most feared attacks in Europe but with a midfield that lacks any sort of dynamism or creativity, the Reds will struggle to evolve into genuine title challengers. It goes without...
